Writing about a sentence spatter

I was about to set off on my daily writing exercise, when I came upon this (log) sentence while randomly browsing the internet:

Muddiness is not merely a disturber of prose, it is also a destroyer of life, or hope: death on the highway caused by a badly worded road sign, heart-break amongst lovers caused by a misplaced phrase in a well-intentioned letter, anguish of a traveler expecting to be met at a railroad station and not being met because of a slipshod telegram.— The Elements of Style
